Μάσταξ (mastax) in Ancient Greek meant 'Jaw' and the verb- that is still used in Greek- is μασώ (maso). 'I chew'. One letter change from Jaw and your upper lip is called μύσταξ (mistax). The word for the hair growing on it is exactly the same and first came into French through Latin 'Mostaccio' and remained in English, as a French word. since 1585 when it was found in a translation by Thomas Washington. ΜΥΣΤΑΞ/MOUSTACHE
